Adafruit VEML7700 Lux Sensor - I2C Light Sensor [PID:4162] - (AD46484)

Description:

Vishay has many light sensors, and this one is a nice, simple lux sensor that's easy to add to any microcontroller. Most light sensors just give you a number for brighter/darker ambient lighting. The VEML7700 makes your life easier by calculating lux, which is an SI unit for light. You'll get more consistent readings across multiple sensors because you're not dealing with unitless values.

The sensor has a 16-bit dynamic range for ambient light detection from 0 lux to approximately 120 klux with a resolution of up to 0.0036 lx/ct, with software-adjustable integration times and gain.

Interfacing is easy: this sensor uses simple, universal I2C. We put this sensor on a breakout board with a 3.3V regulator and logic level shifter so you can use it with 3.3V or 5V power/logic microcontrollers. We've written libraries for Arduino (C/C++) and CircuitPython (Python 3) so you can use this sensor with almost any type of device, even a Raspberry Pi!

This is Kattni's first PCB design for Adafruit, it's even signed on the back!
